History
Denton Designs was founded in September 1985 following the collapse of Imagine Software. Six Imagine staff - Steve Cain, Ian Weatherburn, Ally Noble, John Gibson, Karen Davies and Graham "Kenny" Everett - made redundant by the company's demise, founded the new software house and carried on where they had left off at Imagine.
When Denton Designs was contracted to develop Shadowfire, Ian Weatherburn became disillusioned with the fact that the company was no longer operating as it had when they had been part of Imagine, and on providing an ultimatum was sacked by the rest of the directors. He subsequently joined Ocean.
In March 1986, the company split, with founders Cain, Davies, Everett and Gibson leaving. Only Ally Noble of the original founders remained.
In December 1995, Denton Designs was acquired by Rage Software.
